Deal Facilitated by Viking Mergers & Acquisitions

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla., March 12, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- A well-established architectural firm serving South Florida for nearly 40 years has been acquired by an international holding company specializing in architecture, engineering, and design.

Ensuring the right succession plan was a top priority as he prepared for retirement.
